“THE PERFECT WOMAN”

SECRET OF SUCCESS A BEAUTY TIP (Times Air Mail Service) LON DION, Jan. 18 Annette Kellerman, swimmer and film star, famed as “the perfect woman,” who arrived in this country yesterday from New York, told the News Chronicle that sho owes all her success to women. “Whatever work you do you’ve got to win over the women first,” she said. “Men don't matter. Women can make or break you.*’ Thirty years have passed since Miss Kellennan first thrilled audiences with her diving exploits, but she is still physically perfect. Even her measurements are the same. Beauty Hint This is her best tip to women who want to make the most of themselves: “The whole grace of women is in the movement of the upper gart of the body. Learn to make full use of your arms, head and torso by watching ballet dancers.” London always gives Miss Kellerman a thrill. She remembers how, in the early days of the century when she arrived from Australia with her father as “the Australian mermaid.” they stayed in lodgings near King’s Gross for 10s 6d a week. Now she is rich enough to do what has always been her ambition—give diving and water-ballet exhibitions for the. benefit of crippled children, comments the News Chronicle.
